A proposal for collaboration between the Psychometrics Committee and the Association of Test Publishers of South Africa

In light of the history of South Africa and its fairly recent change to a democratic dispensation and a constitution that promotes the ethical and fair treatment of all citizens, Psychology has a critical role to play in South Africa with regard to skills development, the identification and development of potential in people, informing learning and development practices, organisational design, and assisting those requiring psychological and neuropsychological support. In order for the role of Psychology and Psychology practitioners to optimally contribute to people development in South Africa, all stakeholders and the relevant governing bodies need to work together to strengthen the discipline, to promote the science of psychology and to use psychology to help address the challenges of our society.
